Central Library building to display earthquake-prone building notice
Palmerston North City Council has accepted detailed seismic assessment results for the Central Library building under new legislation which came into effect in July 2017.
This has identified the library building as an earthquake-prone building, with a rating of 20-25% of New Building Standard.
Earthquake-prone building notices will soon be placed at the main entrances of the building, including tenancies. The notices carry the earthquake rating for the building and the date that either strengthening or demolition work must be completed. Council has 7.5 to 15 years to complete remedial works.
The classification does not mean the building is deemed dangerous under the Building Act, or has to be closed.
Council chief executive Heather Shotter says while the building is now considered earthquake-prone, like many public buildings throughout the country, it will remain open to maintain continuity of services.
"Our library is the most popular Council service we offer. Based on the current legislation the Council has seven-and-a-half years to consider its future options for the building. In the meantime we are focused on ensuring continuation of the library's important services."
Council is to strengthen non-structural elements like ductwork, lights and ceilings, install structural monitoring equipment, limit attendance at library events to 150 people, and increase the frequency of evacuation drills to assist with rapid evacuation of the building in an emergency.
As previously planned, staff located on the third floor of the building will be relocated, which will ease demand on exit routes.
"We have briefed staff, tenants, and neighbouring property owners on implications of the earthquake-prone building notices and what they mean," Ms Shotter says.
"Nothing has changed with the existing structural integrity of the building. After recent earthquakes there has been no obvious settlement or movement observed. The building has a code of compliance certificate, a current building warrant of fitness, and geotechnical assessments show it sits on good ground, consisting of dense gravels overlying bedrock with a low risk of liquefaction."
Ms Shotter says meeting the new legislative requirements is by no means unique to Palmerston North, and Council has the benefit of learning from the experiences of other cities like Wellington and Christchurch.
"Geotechnical assessments show the building is situated on solid ground which gives the building a solid foundation, and its structure is fundamentally sound."
The new earthquake legislation affects all commercial building owners in the city, especially those identified in priority routes under the legislation, who have until 31 December 2019 to undertake seismic assessments.
Seismic assessments are being carried out on other Council buildings and it is expected these will be completed within this timeframe.
Council has seven-and-a-half years to consider its future options for the Central Library building.
Long-term options for the library building include strengthening, partial demolition, demolition and rebuild, or rebuilding on another site.
These options will be considered as part of the Council's Civic and Cultural Masterplanning process, currently underway. Ms Shotter says the Central Library is expected to perform a key 'anchor' role in attracting visitors to this revitalised part of the city.
"Services such as libraries are constantly changing and this is a good opportunity to develop an innovative new library blueprint and future-proof these services for generations to come," Ms Shotter says. An early priority will be to undertake a spatial-needs analysis for the Central Library's services.

On Saturday, April 28, 2018 – 10AM to 2PM local time, communities will team up with law enforcement to host the next National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. You can call the Drug Enforcement Agency's (DEA's) Registration Call Center at 1-800-882-9539 or check the DEA's website for collection sites in your area. The website will be continuously updated with new take-back locations.
Consumers may also continue to utilize the guidelines How to Dispose of Unused Medicines as posted by the FDA if they are not able to attend a scheduled Take-Back Day.
DEA began hosting National Prescription Drug Take-Back events in 2010. At the previous 14 Take-Back Day events, millions of pounds of unwanted, unneeded or expired medications were surrendered for safe and proper disposal.
At the last Take-Back Day in October 2017 over 5,300 sites spread across the nation collected unwanted medications totaling over 900,000 pounds (456 tons). The disposal service is free and anonymous for consumers, with no questions asked. Keep in mind that needles, sharps, asthma inhalers, mercury thermometers, iodine-containing medications, and illicit drugs (including marijuana which is still a schedule 1 drug under federal law) are not accepted at the drop box.
Opioid abuse is at epidemic levels in the U.S., and a top public health concern. The DEA's "Take-Back" initiative is one of several strategies to reduce prescription drug abuse and diversion in the nation. Additional strategies include education of health care providers, patients, parents and youth; establishing prescription drug monitoring programs in all 50 states; and increased enforcement to address illicit methods of prescription drug diversion. In 2018, the U.S. government allotted $4.6 billion in the federal budget towards the expanding opioid crisis.

Notes from the Lab
Nancy Stauffer, Laboratory for Energy and the Environment
SENSORS COMBAT THREAT OF BIOWARFARE
To combat the threat of biological warfare, MIT researchers are developing advanced sensors to rapidly detect and identify biological agents such as anthrax.
In one project, a fluorescence sensor uses a miniature laser to illuminate individual bioparticles in the air with ultraviolet light. By measuring fluorescent light reemitted from the particles, the sensor can distinguish threat particles from naturally occurring particles, such as dust or pollen, and issue an alarm in 30 seconds. The fluorescence sensor work is led by Dr. Charles Primmerman of Lincoln Laboratory and is funded by the Army and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD). The device has been successfully field-tested.
In another project, researchers led by Dr. Mark Hollis of Lincoln Lab and Associate Professor Jianzhu Chen of biology are developing a bioelectronic sensor. This device uses living cells that are genetically engineered so that a cell emits light when a particular bioagent touches it. The light is then detected by a miniature imager and used to identify individual bioagents.
The sensor is made possible by miniature fluid-processing technology developed at Lincoln Lab. The technology flows suspect particles past the sensor cells and flows nutrients to nourish the cells. DARPA and OSD fund the bioelectronic sensor work.
-MIT Lincoln Laboratory Lab Notes
TOWARD SUCCESSFUL R&D BUDGETS
R&D (research and development) managers in large organizations generally divide up their total budget based on the relative merit of individual projects. But MIT Energy Laboratory researchers now suggest that they should also focus on the different phases of research going on in their program -- for example, basic research, applied research and development.
A new system dynamics model can show them how to ensure that each phase receives sufficient funding to yield a steady flow of projects toward commercialization. Given historical data on the behavior of projects in each phase -- the average probability of success, the time required for completion and the project cost -- the model calculates the optimal allocation of funds among the phases and the number of products that will reach commercial readiness each year.
The model can also quantify the effects of not following that allocation. For example, it shows that overfunding the final phase increases the number of products in the near term but decreases that number over the long term as output from the underfunded earlier phases dwindles. It can also quantify the potential benefits of making special investments -- for example, in machinery to speed up productivity in one phase.
Thus far, the researchers, led by Professor Kent Hansen of nuclear engineering, have demonstrated their model using publicly available data on R&D in the pharmaceutical industry. They are now working with US Department of Defense managers to study DOD budget allocation among aircraft-related projects. This research was partially supported by the DOD.

Free Google Analytics certification: how to get it.
Tip 1- Get Search Keywords Ranking for Yoursite, and more!
Google Search Console provides all the information about the keywords that lead people to your website.
Link your AdWords account to track the efficiency of your paid advertising campaigns and to enable retargeting campaigns.
Use custom dashboards template to visualize data in the most appropriate visualization format.
Link your Google webmaster tools (now called Google Search Console) account to the Google Analytics accounts for greater insights into the search keywords that link to your website. Follow the instructions here.
Define filters to curate the analytics data.
A classical example is to filter out all the IP addresses that start with the prefix of your company.
You should also set advanced filters to remove the lines that refer to a low number of clicks to avoid irrelevant noise in your data reports.
Define campaign tags to track the results of campaigns and cross-channel initiatives on your measured properties.
For instance, if you have launched an emailing campaign, you will want to track the number of people who have clicked on a link. To do this, you will create and use campaign tags. These tags enable Google Analytics to display more relevant information about the cross-channel actions.
Tags are super powerful: you can also use them to pass the answers from a form on your website to Google analytics and add specific dimensions to your google analytics views, but this goes beyond the requirements of the Google Analytics certification.
Direct vs organic search channels: most people find my blog through Google!
First, use the default audience view to analyze which channels bring significant traffic to your website. It may sound obvious, but you should focus your efforts first on these channels.
Review the flow of visitors in your website. Typically, you will notice that some of your most popular pages have a high bounce rate. You should solve these issues with the appropriate calls to action.
Look at the bounce rate depending on the browser type to check if your website offers a good experience on various devices. If the bounce rate is higher with mobile browsers, you should review the website design.
Review the acquisition reports to see how your various marketing channels perform and especially organic vs paid, and the contribution of social, emails, etc.
AdWords reports show what happens after people click on your ads: how they navigate your website.
They can show fewer visits than clicks, for instance, if some users use Ghostery and other privacy protections to block Google Analytics scripts.
The keyword reports permit you to see which ones lead to conversions or engagement.
The ROI metric enables you to shine in front of your bosses or to identify issues with your paid campaigns and request adjustments to the keywords and banners to your agency.
The destination URL dimension is particularly interesting to see which landing pages are worth investing in because they drive high conversions.
Inboung marketing: this is how you get certified. For free!


The record-breaking snow and cold is taking a toll on roads in the metro. Drivers dodged potholes on Saturday after warmer temperatures melted snow and ice.
"I'm not liking it but, you know, this is Minnesota for you," he said.
Karen Gustafson, of South Minneapolis, said she noticed them as she drove on Interstate 35W North.
Green Line Auto Service and Tire Manager Ralph Johnson said it's still early in the season to see pothole repairs.
It can be an expensive fix.
"The wheels sometimes will bend, sometimes will crack, we had one earlier this week," said Johnson.
They've been getting more calls from people who say their car is vibrating.
He said five to seven ounces of snow can become packed on and around tires.
There's very little drivers can do to prevent this other than avoiding snow banks and visiting a car wash, he said.
"We get the cars in, get them up in the air, get a ratchet or a wrench and we knock the ice out and then send them on their way," he said.
If debris comes off a vehicle and causes a crash, the driver could face a citation from the Minnesota State Patrol. Troopers can also fine drivers who don't clear off their vehicles or those who have restricted visibility because of snow and ice on their car.
It could cost drivers up to $100.
State Patrol said on Twitter that they've seen a 39 percent increase in cars going off the roads this year.
They are warning drivers to slow down.

Discussion in 'Security' started by kjg, Dec 12, 2016.
Been away for a while and not had the time to get into the new features until now.
I am trying to understand the new cPanel features for SSL such as AutoSSL, Let's Encrypt, Domain TLS.
If you could please help me understand if all these new features will help us solve the standard situation we have, I would really appreciate it.
A typical server we have contains 400 to 500 cpanel accounts with maybe 4-5 resellers having their own shared IP.
Most accounts are on shared IP but some have dedicated IP's primarly for SSL/Certificate reasons.
Each shared IP has no more than 100 cpanel accounts.
For free cpanel AutoSSL I read there is a limit of "a maximum of 200 domains per website (Apache virtual host)".
Not sure what exactly the "per website" means. Is it per server or per IP, or?
What we want is primarily that all cpanel accounts should have SSL on http but if it is possible to also have it on each cpanel accounts domain for email, that would be very nice.
The "Domain and rate limits" section explains the current limitations. You should not encounter any issues with limitations on cPanel-signed certificates based on the information you provided, unless one of those cPanel accounts includes a very high number of aliases (Parked Domains) or subdomains. With Let's Encrypt, it's the same, except there is a maximum of 20 certificates issued per week that contain a domain or its subdomains. If you include subdomains of a domain on more than 20 certificates, Let's Encrypt will issue those during the next window, up to the limit for that week.
There's no charge for SSL certificates generated through the AutoSSL feature (either with cPanel-signed certificates (Comodo) or Let's Encrypt).

Fayetteville native Gavin Williams posts another career best on the mound
Joey Chandler
Wilmington StarNews
Gavin Williams is making each moment of his decision to return to East Carolina after a shortened, 2020 MLB draft count. The Fayetteville native improved to 3-0 after a 7-0 shutout against Cincinnati on Friday night, racking up a career-high 13 strikeouts in a career-long 6.2 innings pitched.
"I have got so many people behind me lifting me up," Williams said. "My teammates, they have been a big part of my success right now."
Before COVID-19 arrived last season, Williams was out with a fractured finger. Once he was ready to return, the pandemic had brought all athletic events to a halt. Health issues also hindered Williams at the start of the 2021 season, but he's since fought his way back to the mound.
"He wanted to come back and prove to people that he could start, and up to this point, he has done a really good job of that. …" ECU coach Cliff Godwin said. "I am super proud of Gavin from a human aspect of him just staying the course when it would have been very easy for him to feel sorry for himself and not continue to battle through some things that he has. I am just so glad I have one more year with him, not from his pitching, but just for him as a person."
Williams left Friday's contest to a standing ovation. He gave up four hits and walked three. Carter Spivey came in as relief, retiring all seven batters in 2.1 innings pitched with three strikeouts.
"It means the world. We have got the best fans in the nation . … It is kind of awesome seeing all those people stand up and clap," Williams said.
In his last two starts, the right-handed pitcher hasn't allowed a run in 12.2 innings, combining for total seven hits, 24 strikeouts and four walks.
Williams earned earned AAC Pitcher-of-the-Week honors for his performance against Elon on March 26 in a 15-0 shutout. He is the fourth Pirate to earn player or pitcher weekly honors this season. He struck out 11 of 24 batters in six innings pitched.
He is also the third ECU pitcher this season to strikeout 10-plus batters in a game, along with Carson Whisenhunt (10 vs. Rhode Island, 11 at Georgia Southern) and Jake Kuchmaner (10 vs. Charlotte).
The Pirates (20-5, 2-0 AAC) host Cincinnati in a doubleheader on Saturday beginning at 1 p.m. at Clark Le-Clair Stadium.

Q: Parsing a List of Values Python I have a function that returns a list of values:
vpn = conn.get_all_vpn_connections()

Here is what is returned:
[VpnConnection:someidxx1, VpnConnection:someidxx2, VpnConnection:someidxx3, VpnConnection:someidxx4]

I want to store whats returned in a variable and loop through it. What would a function look like that would do that?

A: You've already stored what's returned in the variable 'vpn'. Assuming that it's returning a list, to loop through it you'd just use a simple for loop...
vpn = conn.get_all_vpn_connections()
for vpn_connection in vpn:
    print vpn_connection

If it's not a list, you'll have to check it's variable class with
print type(vpn)

And let us know what it is.

Will Sen. Lincoln kill the Employee Free Choice Act?
The U.S. Senate showdown over the Employee Free Choice Act just got a little tougher: Arkansas Dem. Blanche Lincoln has gone on record saying that the EFCA "isn't necessary, bringing the number of "yay" Senators down to 57, three short of the 60 needed to prevent a filibuster.
The EFCA would allow unions to represent workers by getting sign-up cards -- "card check" -- as opposed to drawn-out elections in which companies frequently subject workers to harassment and intimidation, the recent battle at Smithfield Foods in North Carolina being a sharp example.
49% of employers threaten to close a worksite when workers try to form a union, but only 2% actually do.
82% of employers hire high-priced unionbusting consultants to fight union organizing drives.
91% of employers force employees to attend one-on-one anti-union meetings with their supervisors.
After all, non-union Arkansas is a bastion of prosperity! Well, actually, no, it's poverty-stricken and features ultra low wages. But guess who likes low wages? Wal-Mart. And guess who loves Wal-Mart? Arkansas politicians like Blanche Lincoln.
The Center for Responsive Politics shows that Sen. Lincoln has indeed been a direct beneficiary of Wal-Mart's political largesse, with donors associated with the company giving Lincoln over $35,800 in her career.
Lincoln has also received $44,000 from Tyson Foods, the poultry giant with its own checkered record of worker abuses and hostility to unions.
Workers in Arkansas could use more unions. Arkansas has the 5th-highest rate of poverty in the country. The state's median income ranks 48th in the nation; only Mississippi and New Mexico are lower. Per capita income ranks 48th in the nation. Nationally, the "union advantage" that results from having a union is about a 12% boost in wage levels.

Resident Evil 5 HD Walkthrough S-Rank Chapter 6-3: No Damage
Wesker will dodge your attacks like he did last time, especially if you shoot him in a lit area. To avoid this, take your rocket launcher and try to flank him, with his back facing you in a dark area. He'll turn around and catch the rocket. When he does this, immediately switch to the pistol and shoot him -- anywhere will do. When he's shot, the rocket will explode. Quickly run up to him and grab him, allowing your partner the chance to inject him with the needle you're carrying. You'll need to repeat this process twice in order for him to be felled so that you can move on to the final leg of this, the final battle. Keep in mind that you may miss several times, but there are plenty of rockets in the area hidden in crates and the like. The biggest store of rockets is found on top of a catwalk along one side of the location. Climb the ladders up to the catwalk and break into the case of rockets to grab all of them you need. Remember that you can use your partner to deliver the rockets to you as well, though since single player co-op is permanently broken in Resident Evil 5, you shouldn't count on this as a surefire technique.
When Wesker's been dealt the second explosion and has been injected with the needle, a cutscene will ensue. Pay careful attention when you board the aircraft, since there are multiple quicktime events that will make or break you here. Don't miss any of the button presses when they appear on-screen and, ultimately, you'll arrive at a volcano, a fitting location for the game's final battle. Now, this battle is confusing if you don't know what to do. If you do know what to do, however, this battle is pretty darn easy for the game's last fight. It's all about that orange emblem on Wesker's chest and back. However, it's almost always covered with the snakes that cover most of his monstrous body. Thus, you're going to need to figure out how to get through the snakes to strike the emblem. This fight only requires about six well-placed magnum shots, but you should bring as much magnum ammunition to this battle as possible. Magnum rounds, health, your strongest (preferably maxed out) magnum weapon and a backup weapon (like a shotgun) are great to have here.
As soon as the battle begins, run away from Wesker. His swinging arm will knock you into the lava if it hits you, so get away from him. Run up the ramp in front of you and go towards the makeshift rock bridge. It will collapse underneath you, sending you to an area below. Wesker will pursue. Run towards a ramp leading upward to a circular area. Here's where you'll make your first stand against the foe. Allow him to lift his mutated arm in the air and attack. Then, flank him and shoot him in the emblem in his back when it's exposed. Depending on how strong your weapons are, this may or may not take several strikes with your magnum. When he's received enough damage here, he'll jump across to where your partner is. Your partner will dash off, but a rock bridge will fall underneath her as well, and she'll be holding on by a thread. Shoot Wesker a few times to give her an opportunity to pull herself up. Then, book it back down the ramp away from this circular area, and wrap around it until you see a large boulder in your path.
Examine the boulder and follow the multiple on-screen prompts to knock it into the lava. You must do this quickly, before Wesker catches up to your partner, or you will fail the mission. Once the rock is in the lava, your partner will jump across. Reunited, you should run back up the previous ramp to the previous area where you first shot at Wesker. This is where the final leg of the battle will take place. His attacks here are more powerful and difficult to dodge. The pattern changes here. First, shoot the emblem on his back (like you did when you faced him solo), then run to the edge and turn to face Wesker. He will perform his tentacle whirlwind attack, and then the weak spot on his chest will become exposed. Shoot it until it recedes! Repeat the process over and over again while dodging his attacks. Once you've struck the orange-colored emblem for the final time and he's taken enough damage, the game is over. Congratulations! You've beaten Resident Evil 5.
Defeat Wesker with One Weapon Within a Minute!
This technique requires accurate aiming. At the final battle with Wesker (transformed) in the volcano, you may defeat Wesker very easily, with only a Rocket Launcher, within a minute! As soon as the battle starts, turn around and quickly shoot the vertical rocks at the right side the rock bridge (only if you are planning to get a rock to jump on when getting the last jewel treasure of RE5). When Chris recovers from his fall and Sheva shouts 'Chris, get to a higher ground', run straight up the hill and go left, try to reach the farthest point of the hill top (to have plenty of time and space to aim accurately), now equip your Rocket Launcher, and start aiming down the hill in front of you, as Wesker will be walking up the hill, his weak point (orange spot) on the back of his left shoulder will be clearly revealed to you, aim on that and ... shoot! If it is aimed correctly, Wesker is defeated, and you have cleared RE5. You only have to fire the two Launchers with Shiva on the helicopter, with Josh and Jill.

Q: ReactJS " io is not defined" using CDN link of SOCKET IO I do not want to use Npm package for my project So i try to use CDN link to use SOCKET IO in client side .
Please Note that same CDN link is working fine in normal html/css js but not in react project.
I put CDN link index.html inside Pubic folder of React project
here it is:
<script defer src="https://cdn.socket.io/3.1.3/socket.io.min.js"  integrity="sha384-cPwlPLvBTa3sKAgddT6krw0cJat7egBga3DJepJyrLl4Q9/5WLra3rrnMcyTyOnh" crossorigin="anonymous" ></script>

Thanks in Advance
const socket = io("http://localhost:3000/");

I put this constant before class component

A: You could create a React Hook which uses a React useEffect that just uses Javascript to query select the head component and create a script element to manually set the src.
Or you could use a library like React Helmet which lets you handle script injection easily within React without needing to install the module.
EDIT*
The absolute bare-bones way to access the io methods in React if you are using placing the script inside /public/index.html is:
const socket = window.io();

Timber and steel Stony Creek Bridge, Nowa Nowa, South East Victoria.
Digital sepia mix from original 9 megapixel RGB file.
The construction of the Stony Creek Trestle Bridge not far from Lakes Entrance, which was part of a 97km extension of the rail line between Melbourne and Bairnsdale to reach Orbost, began in 1916. The terrain was extremely rugged, and the project was reputed to be the most difficult rail project ever tackled in Victoria. It is reputedly one of the highest bridges of its type in Australia. It has twenty-seven 9.1m steel joist spans and a ballasted timber deck. The trestles are tied together at mid-height, with timber A-frame bracing between the trestles in alternate bays. Metal crossheads are also visible.
It is 247 metres in length and over 20 metres in height and is built from Red Iron-bark and Grey Box Timber (very hard). It was decided to build the Stony Creek Trestle Bridge to provide a boost to the regional economy. In the early days of the trestle bridge Steam driven locomotives operated across the bridge until 1957 when diesel locomotives were introduced.
Unfortunately in June of 1964 a train of timber trucks being hauled by a diesel loco was derailed in which 11 trucks laden with timber came off the tracks causing 3 trucks to topple from the bridge and the other 8 toppled during the cleaning up of the site.

San Diego-based developer RAF Pacifica Group has acquired 18.4 acres of industrial land in the Carlsbad Raceway Business Park for approximately $15 million, with plans to build two new distribution buildings totaling 272,430 square feet.
A statement from the privately held company said the project, to be called "dis•trib•ute," is scheduled to break ground in the first quarter of 2017, with completion expected in the fourth quarter of 2017.
RAF Pacifica Group Principal Adam Robinson said the company is aiming to address a relative lack of supply of appropriate industrial space in the local market, increasingly in demand among sectors including technology, manufacturing and distribution.
The new buildings will be divisible down to 10,000 square feet to accommodate an array of businesses, with a mix of creative office and cutting-edge industrial components, along with outdoor gathering spaces. Elements will include glass exteriors, updated sprinkler systems, high-dock loading doors, and ceilings with 30-foot height clearances.
The seller of the Carlsbad land was San Diego-based HG Fenton Co. The buyer and seller were represented by Dennis Visser and Aric Starck of brokerage firm Cushman & Wakefield.
Carlsbad Raceway Business Park, located off Lionshead Avenue near Palomar Airport Road, spans about 100 acres of a site that once housed an auto racetrack.
Robinson, previously a principal of Solana Beach-based SR Commercial, recently joined with investors Steve Leonard and Matt Burton to form RAF Pacifica Group. The company oversees a portfolio of 2.65 million square feet, primarily focused on office and industrial properties, with an additional 1 million square feet of speculative development in the pipeline over the next 24 months.


Coolest ceramic stuff in Tonala. It costs a ton of money.
We had an interesting experience with an investigator who is a Jehova's Witness. We were talking about their church after the lesson, and the LDS member said, if the Jehova's Witnesses had priesthood power, I'd be one of them. It was one of the funnier things I have heard in a good while.
BIG UP. Last week, after Eduardo's wife left him, and we had a lesson with him, we gave him a blessing of comfort that everything would be alright. The next day he found new work in which he doesn't work on Sundays and he finishes working at 3pm every day. There is probably not a man I love more than him in the mission, (I will send a photo, he does not look happy, but he is!!!) He came to church yesterday, and bore his testimony. It was powerful.
There is a guy who helps us out a ton in the ward named Ivan Diaz Pacheco. He is the best. His wife lives in Indiana, and he lives here. He helps us out a ton coming with us to appointments and is super funny. He is a convert and I love his guts.
Elder Mar and I are super good. The kid eats a ton in the night. Last night he ate 2 sandwiches, 1 cup of noodles, 1 mango, some orange juice, some little candies, and something else. But I like him lots. We don't have a ton in common, but we get along great, have a good time, and he likes working hard. Also, he runs with me in the mornings which is grand.
I am ever so jealous of your Oregon trip. It seems like you guys do tons of trips together these days. I like that and envy that. But I am glad you got to have fun. Also, I think I like reading now, ever since the mission where you read and study for 3-4 hours every day, you learn to like it or hate it. I like it lots now, and want to read cool books some day, when they are approved.
Today we went to the Chinese buffet to eat. It was not very good. But what is better than a small Chinese lady speaking English? A small Chinese lady speaking Spanish.
Buy your preach my gospels, because it is now commandment, because it came from an apostle. study it.
Also your scriptures are important.
Have the best weeks ever. Love you all tons. and tons.

Align Commerce Solves the Problem of Wire Transfers
In the world of global trade, paying a supplier is usually one of the most difficult aspects of business. It is an industry that is reliant on wire transfers, which is the most popular way suppliers are paid. However, between trips to the bank, FX fees, bank fees, lack of internet security, complaints of money never reaching its destination, and poor regulation in many countries, wire transfers have been shown to be less than optimal, to say the least.
Recently, Marwan Forzley, the Chief Executive of Align Commerce has appeared in publications such as New York Time, The Guardian, and Tech Crunch to explain the concept of blockchain technology and its benefits to payment processing. He characterizes this technology as a constantly growing series of virtual public ledgers of all Bitcoin transactions that has ever been performed. How does this affect payments? For anyone who understands what Bitcoin is (an open source, peer-to-peer currency), this allows cross-border payments to be more efficient by eliminating all the friction that occurs within it, such as FX rates and Swifts – which can be expensive and delay the money's transfer from one end to the other by days, exposing its customers to currency volatility.
What Align Commerce has done is harness the blockchain technology to enable businesses and payment platforms to send and receive payments in their local currency via a simple, frictionless and inexpensive process.
In other words, if a business in the US wants to bill their customer in Spain US$6,000, the Spanish clients can opt to send the payment in Euros using the AC platform for a flat fee of 1.9%. In turn, Align Commerce transfers the money to the blockchain, exchanges it with cryptocurrencies and then to the receivers' currency. As a result, the US company end up with more compared to what they have received via wire transfer after taking into consideration how much banks charge for currency conversions. The time it takes to receive the payment is also greatly reduced compared to more traditional payment methods.
Because of the relationship that Align Commerce has with local banks and Bitcoin exchanges, the company can afford not to charge any fees from the sender or the recipient either. With Align Commerce, the FX fees are transparent, indicating the exact rate on the invoice, while the dashboard can be used to track the movement of funds in real time (much like how a package is tracked online), eliminating the uncertainty of whether or not the payment was received – all with the help of blockchain technology.
Align Commerce emphasizes the need for real-time tracking because there have been numerous stories of money getting lost in transit with wire transfers or of amounts received being far less than what was expected.
Real-time tracking also shows proof of transaction, giving businesses a deeper sense of security by eliminating the threat of fraud. The funds are deposited directly to the receivers' account in the exact amount expected, all in their local currency.
In the complex world of global trade, having a simple and reliable payment method is crucial to a business' success. With the development of new technology like blockchain, the problems that people encounter with payments are addressed and eliminated. With companies like Align Commerce utilizing such technology, businesses will benefit from smoother, faster, and more transparent payment transactions.

The voltage sensitive domain (VSD) is a pivotal structure of voltage-gated ion channels (VGICs) and plays an essential role in the generation of electrochemical signals by neurons, striated muscle cells, and endocrine cells. The VSD is not unique to VGICs. Recent studies have shown that a VSD regulates a phosphatase. Similarly, Hv1, a voltage-sensitive protein that lacks an apparent pore domain, is a self-contained voltage sensor that operates as an H+ channel.
VSDs are formed by four transmembrane helices (S1–S4). The S4 helix is positively charged due to the presence of arginine and lysine residues. It is surrounded by two water crevices that extend into the membrane from both the extracellular and intracellular milieus. A hydrophobic septum disrupts communication between these water crevices thus preventing the permeation of ions. The septum is maintained by interactions between the charged residues of the S4 segment and the gating charge transfer center. Mutating the charged residue of the S4 segment allows the water crevices to communicate and generate gating pore or omega pore. Gating pore currents have been reported to underlie several neuronal and striated muscle channelopathies. Depending on which charged residue on the S4 segment is mutated, gating pores are permeant either at depolarized or hyperpolarized voltages. Gating pores are cation selective and seem to converge toward Eisenmann's first or second selectivity sequences. Most gating pores are blocked by guanidine derivatives as well as trivalent and quadrivalent cations. Gating pores can be used to study the movement of the voltage sensor and could serve as targets for novel small therapeutic molecules.

The Quinnipiac Chronicle
Acrobatics and Tumbling
Women's ice hockey beats Union
Gene Demaio
The Quinnipiac women's ice hockey team won their third straight game after a 4-1 victory against Union at the Highpoint Solutions Center at the TD Bank Sports Center on Saturday.
Nicole Brown, Regan Boulton, Shelby Wignall, and Morgan Fritz-Ward scored goals on the night. Kelly Babstock and Nicole Kosta each recorded two assists; both players have scored multiple points in three straight games. It was a dominant performance for the Bobcats who outshot Union 46-16.
The Bobcats got on the board early when Nicole Brown scored less than two minutes into the game. Union tied the game just five minutes later with a goal by Christine Valente on a Union power play. The Bobcats retook the lead with two minutes to play in the first period with a power play goal by Regan Boulton, and they would not look back.
The game was tighter than the scoreboard would make it seem. The Dutchwomen kept the game within one goal throughout the second period and into the third. The Bobcats were able to get plenty of shots but every time Union goalie Shenae Lundberg turned them away, as she recorded 41 saves on the night. The Bobcats would finally breakthrough with a Wignall goal five minutes into the third. Fritz-Ward would add a power play goal with two minutes left to put the game out of reach.
Defense was a major factor behind the Bobcats victory, as they were able to hold the Dutchwomen to 16 shots. They were able to maintain offensive possession for much of the game and took more shots in the first period, 20, than Union would take in the entire game.
"We were moving hard in transition," Quinnipiac head coach Rick Seeley said. "We worked hard on the forecheck and we controlled the puck pretty well."
Seeley was pleased with the game but he did say he would like to see the team do a better job finishing.
"We've been hitting over 40 for maybe five of the last six games so, they've been working hard creating opportunities," Seeley said. "We have to finish a little bit more but we are happy."
Another key to the victory was the power play. The Bobcats were two for four in the game and scored two of their four goals in five-on-four situations, Boulton's go ahead goal in the first and Fritz-Morgan's goal in the late fourth that sealed the game.
The Bobcats will be in action again on Friday Dec. 7, when they travel to New Jersey to take on Princeton as part of a two day home-and-home series.

Stockholm Metro Art: The 8 Best Metro Stations
The thing I love most about travelling is that it's always a surprise. Honestly, it doesn't matter if you're taking an epic journey across a continent or pottering on the other side of town, it's always the surprises that make travel so much fun. This is exactly why I love Stockholm so much… the surprises! With the Stockholm metro art being one of the coolest things to see whilst travelling around the city. 🇸🇪
Now, although the metro isn't as big as cities like New York or London's Tube, it has a pretty hefty mix of stops (about 100, actually) and lines that criss-cross the city that I'm sure you'll love to see.
Someone told me whilst in the city that Stockholm's metro art is actually one of the world's longest art galleries in the world with almost 90 percent of all Stockholm's metro stations having some sort of art installation inside.
With that being said, on our last trip to Stockholm with KLM, we decided to make it our goal to find some of the best of Stockholm's metro art. I've also popped them onto a map that I'm hoping will help you locate them on your visit, too. ✨
Take a look at some of the very best stations to visit for Stockholm's metro art. 🎨
1.) T-Centralen Station
Possibly Stockholm's busiest stations, the T-Centralen metro stop is smack bang in the city with quite a few lines running through it. To find Stockholm's metro art at T-Centralen, you'll need to go down a few floors to the Blue Line.
It took me about 10-minutes to find it (there are lots of tunnels and escalators), but just ask if you're not sure. One of the safest ways to know you've reached the right line is once you see the blue walls and cave-like tunnels.
Once here, you'll spot the impressive work of Per Olof Ultvedt that literally covers the cave walls with beautiful blue leaves.
Oh, and If you're looking for a gorgeous hotel to stay at in the centre of Stockholm, make sure to check out 'At Six'. It has a really cool rooftop bar next to it, too.
2.) Stadion Station
So Stadion station is possibly one of my favourite of Stockholm's metro art that appears across the network.
Just a few stops from T-Centralen, it's relatively easy to reach and is perched on the Red Line. Once you get off the train, the rainbow archway is positioned between the two platforms.
You can't miss it.
From T-Centralen, the journey will take you around 10-minutes and it's well worth it to see the gorgeous art that Åke Pallarp and Enno Hallek created.
3.) Solna Centrum Station
Situated on the Blue Line, Solna Centrum is possibly one of the easiest pieces of artworks to find (well, in my opinion at least). Originally, the artist designed this space to be solely green and red, but the artists continued to add little new details over periods of time. Little houses, trees and even rivers were added.
If you're joining the metro at T-Centralen, it'll take you around 16-18 minutes to reach Solna Centrum via the Blue Line.
4.) Tekniska Högskolan Station
Created by artist, Lennart Mörk this is one of Stockholm's metro art installations you'll wanna see. Based in Tekniska Högskolan, that's just shy of the
Stockholms Östra train station.
Based on the Red Line, Tekniska Högskolan is a gorgeous station that showcases scientific advances within the art itself. I mean, it's pretty apt with it being so close to the Royal Institute of Technology.
5.) Tensta station
Apparently, Tensta Station took over a year to paint and design and is easily one of the most recognisable of Stockholm's metro art. One of the things I love most about this station is it's showcasing of acceptance, equality and love.
Tensta has, traditionally, been an area where lots of new citizens would live, with the artist wanting to leave a welcoming message to all. What a lovely welcome to Stockholm!
To get to Tensta, you'll need to take the Blue Line that takes about 20-minutes from T-Centralen.
6.) Kungsträdgården Station
Based on the Blue Line (only a few minutes from T-Centralen), Kungsträdgården Station is pretty easy to find.
Alternatively, if you don't fancy hopping on the train, you can walk the 8 minutes from T-Centralen, too.
Kungsträdgården Station has been designed around what's above the station itself, with the colours being a throwback to the old French garden above.
As with all the stations, you will need a travel ticket to access these.
7.) Rådhuset Station
Located on the Blue Line between the stations of T-Centralen and lFridhemsplan, it's an easy station to spot if you're travelling this direction.
It's a great spot to visit if you're heading to Solna Centrum, too.
8.) Akalla station
Perched at the very end of Line 11 on the Blue Line, Akalla Station is another vivid and bright stations to see. This green station is definitely a sight to be seen.
To get to Akalla Station, it'll take you about 21 minutes from T-Centralen.

Make the most of asparagus season with this fresh, unique salad recipe from Woman's Weekly. Creamy, rich duck eggs are the perfect partners for the nutty veggie spears, and taste great with rings of shallots on the side. The dressing provides a tasty hint of Asian flavour as it contains miso, a traditional Japanese seasoning.
To make the dressing: Bring the sherry and mirin to the boil for a minute. Lower the heat, add the miso, a little at a time, whisking it in. Add the sugar. When it's dissolved take the pan off the heat. Stir in the mustard and cool.
Add the duck eggs to a pan of boiling salted water and keep at a rolling boil for 6 mins. Take them out, then quickly plunge them into ice-cold water. When cooled, peel them and set aside in a bowl of cold water.
Cook the asparagus in a pan of boiling salted water for 1-2 mins. Plunge the spears into ice-cold water. Dry them and just before serving, coat spears in oil. Cook on a hot griddle for a few minutes to char them.
Arrange the asparagus on a platter, add the halved duck eggs. Add a little hot water to the dressing to slacken it and drizzle dressing over the salad. Scatter with slices of shallot. Drizzle with more olive oil. Serve the rest of the dressing in a small pot.
Duck eggs are lovely and rich, but if you can't find them, you can make this dish with ordinary chicken's eggs instead.
